What Does NPR Stand For?
NPR stands for Net Protein Retention
Net Protein Retention (NPR) is a measure used to evaluate the efficiency of protein utilization in organisms. It quantifies the amount of protein retained in an organism's body after accounting for protein losses through processes such as excretion and metabolic conversion. NPR is an important metric in fields such as nutrition, aquaculture, and animal husbandry, as it helps assess dietary protein quality and the overall effectiveness of feeding strategies in promoting growth and health.
